Equipment & Build-Out comparison
LiveO2 vs OxyHealth
How LiveO2 and OxyHealth compare for wellness franchise operators — side-by-side specs and our verdict on which fits which concept.
Short answer
Two different oxygen modalities competing for the same recovery-menu slot. LiveO2 is EWOT — exercise with oxygen training — a mask-and-reservoir system used during active cardio, with contrast switching between oxygen-rich and oxygen-reduced air; it needs a bike or treadmill and an able, engaged client. OxyHealth's mild hyperbaric chambers are passive: the client lies in pressure for an hour. EWOT costs a fraction of a chamber, fits in less space, and produces a workout; hyperbaric serves clients who can't or won't exercise and carries the stronger session-price positioning. A performance-oriented studio gets more utilization from LiveO2; a recovery-and-relaxation concept gets more from a chamber. Some studios run both — the equipment budgets aren't comparable, so this often decides itself.
